So I had my last monthly Doctors appointment yesterday. We now start our bi weekly appointments and then our weekly ones. I had two extra kids--besides Nolan-- that day and Chris had an appointment with a client so he couldn't sneak home for a bit to watch the kids while I went. And I had to keep my appointment because he books out so far in advance. Did I mention how great of a Dr. he is! So, off we all went to the Drs. office. I brought plenty of toys, food, crayons, and coloring sheets and it went really well. The kids were good, and my awesome Dr. said how great it was to see so many kids at a family practice and reminding me, in my midst of apologies for having so many kids in a little room, that they love kids there.
Anyway--- the appointment went okay. I actually lost 5 pounds somehow--which I have no idea how that happened-- but oh well. Babies heart beat was great and I have no signs of high blood pressure ( I had pre-eclampsia with Lily and they have been monitoring me really closely)
We do have some bad news to report--- The baby has now flipped to breach position. Last time at my last appointment she was head down but somehow she flipped---maybe that was why I was feeling such painful movements and thought they were contractions. He said he is not too concerned as of now, but we need to come in to see him again in two more weeks to see if the baby has flipped again---This will be 36 weeks which is when he says that the baby seems to stay in their birth position. Cross our fingers that she flips again or we have to talk about a c-section. ( He said there is another option of trying to flip the baby around but I heard that is sooo painful and don't know if I even want to go there) We will see what happens in two more weeks.
